One of the common dangers involves the velocity of containers that have been improperly capped or otherwise opened. The highly pressurized gas propels the containers with high vector forces, sometimes causing them to "pinwheel" or spin out of control. Other times, outside pressures to a compressed gas canister result in explosion or bursting.

Flammable compressed gases have their own specific hazards. Many of these are indicated on the labeling of the containers. Businesses must have detailed protocols for handling compressed gases to avoid injury and accident.
